Swedish clinics are mainly staffed by general practitioners and nurses. Even if you need to see a specialist, you must first see a doctor at a clinic who then refers you to a specialist. There are several clinics in Borås to choose from. Usually you need to contact the closest one to your home address according to "the proximity principle".
Below is the contact information for some of them.
If you call a clinic, there will be an answering machine with a voice telling you to leave your phone number so they can call you back. Usually they mention a number you can click on to hear the message in English.
The fee is 200 SEK if you see a doctor, 80 SEK for a nurse, and 300-500 SEK for a specialist. But if you go to another clinic than the one where you are listed, the price is higher. A visit to the emergency room at the hospital costs 400 SEK.
The clinics are open daytime during weekdays. During evenings, nights and weekends, you will be referred to a central open clinic. Call Vårdguiden 1177 in advance and they will tell you where to go.
If you have booked a time and must cancel, you need to do that no later than 24 hours before the booked time. If not, you will have to pay the sum that corresponds the patient fee.
Please note that the information above only applies if you have a Swedish personal number and a valid European Health Insurance Card, and not for conditions that can wait until you get home. If you come from outside the EU/EEA, read about insurance claims below.
